#	Rider	Time	Year	Year

5	VANDERAERDEN Eric	9y + 13d	1983	1992

Rojas is at 10 years and 8 days.
I sense a win and a record coming up in the last week.

looks like TTT wins are not included in that statistic, though?!

But Cataldo is almost at 10 years as well.

As I recall it, it was ridden at a somewhat decent pace in 2014.

It was quite fast, but with 60km to the finish the best we can get is a reduced peloton of 80-90 riders.

First image from the race; Remco already dropped just before the big climb

 

[Faserr]

And already waving his arms around

 

[CyclistAbi]

What is Remco doing.

First image from the race; Remco already dropped just before the big climb

He just doesn't want anyone jumping on the autobus. Under his leadership even the sprinters will not get easy day anymore.

 

[Ilmaestro99]

What a rider, clear favorite for Vélo d'Or

Well he had a mononucolssis for half the season and is doing a great job for his team. Not a velo d'or candidate yet but great to see him back in the front.

 

[glassmoon]

What is Remco doing.

just a little bit of bottle jumping at the end of the peloton... guess he's bored

 

[Lequack]

Remco: "Come here, fellow teammate. I have found shelter behind this vehicle"

Yet...

 

[Earns1985]

Trek now with whole team at the front.. they will definitly try to drop Bennett..

Since when is 68th being in the front?

 

[glassmoon]

So it's: kill all splinters but save Mads and catch the break for the Trek today...

 

[glassmoon]

trademark yo-yo already

will be interesting to see how much Bora is willing to invest to bring him back. Higuita didn't look particularly good so far - maybe he'd need to help

 

[Eddy Evenepoel]

Since when is 68th being in the front?

There are 178 riders still in the race, so everyone better than 89th are in the front half of the race. Mythical Masnada.

 

[Earns1985]

So Ackermann and Merlier already dropped..

[Volderke]

Froome dropped!

 

[Samamba]

Man Froome shouldn't have started here. It's so weird that Covid just seems to hit certain riders way harder than other. Martin is flying for example, but guys like Froome and Wellens who got Covid in the last week of the Tour are still struggling. Froome is dropping when the sprinters drop and Wellens can't even finish lower level Belgian races.

 

[huangho]

Froome dropped!

Classic yo-yo tactics by Froomie...

 

[glassmoon]

wtf is Euskatel doing... Mads not impressed

 

[Volderke]

This is actually a very enjoyable climb and stage, as long as Pedersen drills Trek, the peloton will be hurting...

 

[Lequack]

Trek climbing domestiques can't even drop sprinters. Pace is very easy.
